This is obtained by defeating the final boss in the game, which is a large mage-like creature released from the gold coin that was stolen when you get to the end of Level 4-6 and you want your gold back!

LEVEL STRATEGYSame as before. Get your triple knives (or twin axes) and both power-ups ASAP to deal out more damage and faster with increased range or rate of fire if possible. Always have a Bubble Shield when possible and the Shield in case you accidentally die so you keep your items.

To clear a level, you only need the key to progress through the door, so do not go for extra treasure or killing more enemies if you do not need the money or other achievements.

First Pattern - The Boss floats from left to right throwing out bluish-green orbs from both hands in a cascade (straight up and down). These can be avoided entirely by hiding on the farthest left or right of the screen. Just stay out of the cascade and throw weapons from a distance to get a few hits in.

Second Pattern - The Boss will pause briefly (for a few concentrated hits) and then make a figure 8 pattern while throwing out more orbs in a cascade. You can't hide on the outside this time and have to move between them as it approaches. The Boss will go from one side to the other then repeat the First Pattern.

*Please let me know if there is anything I missed and I will add it to the guide. Thanks.
